No you drive it exactly like a manual but you dont use a clutch... Just let off the gas and put it up a gear.
Wiki: "This transmission was available in Volkswagen Beetles and Karmann Ghias from the late 60's through the mid 70s. The transmission was a three speed manual transmission connected to a vacuum-operated automatic clutch. When the driver put their hand on the gearshift the clutch would disengage by a 12volt solenoid operating the vacuum clutch, allowing shifting between gears, once they removed their hand the clutch would re-engage automatically. The transmission was also equipped with a torque converter, allowing the car to idle in gear, like an automatic. Many VW's with this transmission had overheating problems if it was not properly maintained."
What they dont tell you is that they're peices of shit.
